PHP upgrade (continued)
Mark found something – because Variable-format files are indeed a problem. This type wasn’t taken into account in his rigorous testing…
Now he has found what was going wrong and has released a new PHPSHR file – AND he’s now able to reproduce the error. For now, all files that are included (‘require’ or ‘include’ in the code) MUST be stream_lf. So on request, I converted the only file that is in variable format, to stream_lf. PHP 5.2.6 has no problem – but when I tried with PHP 5.3, PHPWASD.EXE stopped without error – and returned a 500 error.
Running the blog with PHP.EXE didn’t change a thing….

But since the problem is now reproducable, the issue may now be solved.
